Chapter 394: What Are You Doing?
Qin Muxuan was sleeping quietly in the clean and white ward. Even though she was conscious, she still frowned slightly, making people feel like she was in great agony.
Gu Zijin gently held her thin hands and rubbed the rough cocoons in her palms, looking as if he was in a trance.
“Dad,” Xiaobai patted Xiaoxin’s back in order to coax her to sleep. He called Gu Zijin softly, his voice slightly uneasy.
“Is mommy really okay?”
Gu Zijin raised his eyelids slightly and looked at him with disdain, “As long as I’m here, I won’t let anything happen to her.”
His powerful words managed to soothe Xiaobai who had been worried sick, so he stopped talking and got back to comforting Xiaoxin.
Xiaobai first found Qin Muxuan lying on the ground unconscious. Halfway through the meal, he couldn’t stand his father being enormously confident, as it made him look too stupid. He decided to go upstairs to look for his mom. However, just as he pushed the door open, he saw Qin Muxuan lying on the ground, unconscious.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Although he usually looked very mature, he was still an 8-year-old child. He thought that mommy might be sick and kept it from them, so he was so scared to death.
“Dad! Something happened to Da Bai!” Xiaobai’s voice was so loud that it was almost breaking.
Qin Muxuan was quickly taken to the hospital.
After the checkup, Gu Zijin, who looked quite sullen, stopped himself from panicking and asked the doctor, “How is she? Is everything alright?”
The doctor felt his powerful vibe and was a little scared. “According to the results of the examination, she fainted after being stimulated. And, this symptom has been around for a long time.”
“How is that possible?” Gu Zijin bellowed and grabbed the doctor’s collar. “She has always been in good shape!”
“She… She must have kept it under control by taking some medicine!”
Gu Zijin was gonna say something when he felt someone pulling his sleeve.
“Dad, I saw mom take medicine one day.”
Gu Zijin was stunned and let go.
The doctor felt he could finally breathe again. Without even sorting out his clothes, he couldn’t wait to get as far away as possible from this horrible man.
Xiaobai watched Gu Zijin collapse onto the chair dejectedly. He silently looked at Qin Muxuan who was lying still on the bed and he felt quite gloomy.
Even though they knew that Qin Muxuan was fine for the moment, they still couldn’t rest assured.
Gu Zijin called Lisa and instructed her to bring Xiaoxin to the hospital.
“Also, investigate what Qin Muxuan has gone through in the past few years, ASAP!”
Then he added, “No matter how big or trivial it was, I’ll know everything that she had gone through.”
Ever since Qin Muxuan came back, Lisa had not heard Gu Zijin talking in that gloomy and scary way. So she could not help but get frightened and said “Yes” loudly.
“Uh…” Qin Muxuan moaned and immediately the two men by the hospital bed were alarmed.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Gu Zijin’s worried face appeared in front of Qin Muxuan, while Xiaobai, who came over later, also looked worried.
“How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Qin Muxuan just felt weak all over and her reaction was a little slow. When she saw the expression on Gu Zijin’s face, she subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to smooth his eyebrows.
“Gu Zijin,” she shouted weakly.
Gu Zijin grasped her hand and answered hurriedly, “Yes, I’m here. Take a good rest first. Don’t move.”
Qin Muxuan let him wrap her little hand in his palm and glanced at Xiaobai, indicating that she was fine. So far she had exhausted herself and fell asleep again.
After a while, Gu Zijin tucked her hand into the quilt and then leaned over to sort out the corners of the quilt.
“Sleep. I’m here with you, and I won’t let you suffer anymore.”
His eyes were full of gentleness.
Lisa quickly found out everything and came to report it in person.
Hearing the things that Qin Muxuan had experienced after leaving him, Gu Zijin’s eyebrows were drawn tighter and tighter together and he felt as if his heart was being held tightly by a giant hand. It hurt so much that his breathing became unstable.
Lisa was still reporting dutifully, “After that, Madam has been taking psychotherapy.”
“What is it that makes her sick?” Gu Zijin interrupted Lisa coldly and asked.
Stunned, Lisa turned a page back and hesitated, “I’m sorry, Boss. I couldn’t find it out…”
“What?!”
Seeing that Gu Zijin was about to get angry, Lisa quickly explained, “Madam Jiang Xin has always been responsible for the treatment of Madam Xi’s illness and she has never revealed it to anyone.”
“Jiang Xin…” Gu Zijin calmed down and murmured the name, thinking about it.
“Did you find anything about this woman?”
“Don’t bother. I’m Jiang Xin,” Lisa was about to answer when they heard a female voice at the door of the ward.
The owner of the voice had innate gentleness with her, making people unconsciously let down their guard.
For some reason, Gu Zijin could hear a little coldness from it.
Everyone in the room looked up at where that woman was. Jiang Xin was a gentle woman, but at this moment, her gaze fell on Gu Zijin.
Jiang Xin raised an eyebrow. Gu Zijin thought she was going to say something, but Jiang Xin just ignored him. She walked straight to Qin Muxuan’s side and bent over to look at her eyelids carefully. Seeing that her breathing was slow but calm, she felt relieved.
“Are you Gu Zijin?” Jiang Xin asked Gu Zijin after she finished talking care of what she thought was most important.
Gu Zijin was a little unhappy and Lisa was also secretly shocked.
Such a charismatic woman! She was not afraid of her boss who looked quite sullen right now!
Knowing that only Jiang Xin knew Qin Muxuan’s conditions best, Gu Zijin suppressed the displeasure in his heart but his words were still cold.
“Yes. You are Jiang Xin.”
Jiang Xin nodded and looked Gu Zijin up and down. She secretly thought that whatever this man was like, it was true that he had a good appearance.
The truth was, after she heard about what had happened between Qin Muxuan and Gu Zijin, Jiang Xin thought little of Gu Zijin.
On one hand, it was because she cared about Qin Muxuan. On the other hand, she didn’t agree to Gu Zijin’s way of handling problems.
He clearly knew that Qin Muxuan and Elderly Lady Gu had grudges against each other, but he did a bad job at mediation. And that was not the worst part. He could’ve at least protected Qin Muxuan from getting hurt. However, he did nothing of the sort. He even let Yan Yuxiao put more enmity between Qin Muxuan and Elderly Lady Gu, which made Elderly Lady Gu disliked Qin Muxuan even more and which caused Qin Muxuan to suffer so much.
Don’t ever say that he was unable to see what Yan Yuxiao was up to. She had done it so obviously. Elderly Lady Gu might’ve become foolish because of her old age. He, Gu Zijin, had been dealing with all sorts of matters in the business world for so many years. Couldn’t he see that clearly?
Jiang Xin didn’t believe that. With that thought in her mind, she couldn’t help but look disdainful at him.
Xiaobai, who had not said anything yet, was speechless. What on earth was going on?
